About the Name: Balancing Goat

Life, in many ways, is a balancing act, constantly juggling between work, home, money, and health. In order to accomplish our goals, we often fail to understand the importance of having balance in our lives. Maintaining a balanced life isn't just crucial for your health, happiness, and well-being but also essential to becoming the best you can be. Life is also about enjoying every moment. We are only human, and cupcakes and bacon are down right delicious! Be kind to yourself. If you stumble, don't beat yourself up over it. Instead, enjoy every delicious, sweet mouthful, and then get right back to eating healthy. At Balancing Goat, we understand that if you do not genuinely enjoy life in all of its tasty awesomeness what is the point? It's called BALANCE.

Coffee beans grown worldwide can trace their heritage back centuries to the ancient coffee forests on the Ethiopian plateau. There, legend says a goat herder first discovered the potential of these beloved beans. The story tells of a goat herder who discovered coffee after he noticed his goats becoming so energetic that they did not want to sleep at night when they ate berries from a certain tree. The goat herder took these berries to the abbot of the local monastery who made a drink with the berries and found that it kept him alert through the long hours of evening prayer. The abbot shared his discovery with the other monks at the monastery and knowledge of the energizing berries began to spread. As word moved east and coffee reached the Arabian peninsula, it began a journey which would bring these beans across the globe and to our store in Mandan, North Dakota all thanks to the GOAT.
